Abstract

An optical waveguide structure has lines ( 2 ), crossings ( 3 ), and branchings ( 4 ). In the area of the branchings ( 4 ), the waveguide structure consists of planar waveguides made of a waveguide material that is put into troughs ( 7 ) formed into a substrate ( 8 ). The waveguide material has a higher refractive index than the material delimiting the troughs ( 7 ). In the area of said crossing ( 3 ) the waveguide structure consists of fibers ( 5 ) which cross in the area of the crossings.
